Escape.
rspec,al telegram 20 The pIspatch.I J


RALEIGH, N. c., February 3.-Last
night burglars entered the store o.
Sauls Brothers, at Goldsboro', and ef-
fected an entrance TO the safe and got
away with sc, 600, of which $1,000 was
in bonds and $500 inmoney. The store
is on the principal street, directly in
front of the hotel. The burglars
drilled hole in the top of the safe and
then used dynamite, which split the
safe into pieces, completely wreckingit.
There is no clue TO the burglars, save
that yesterday afternoon three suspi-
cious characters were seen in the vici-
nifty. 1t is surmised that the burglars
blew open the safe after midnight, and
at once left the place on some one Of
the numerous trains. This morning the
suspicious characters seen yesterday
could not be found.

CITY MISSION.
Work Done in the Months of Decem'
ber and January.

The work done during these months
has been greater las shown by reports of
former years. than in any two months
since the organization of the City Mis-
sion. This is owing to the increase of
population and other causes.
The amount OF provisions purchased was
1.l5j pounds OF sugar, 1,l55 pounds Of rice, i9l
pounds Of tea. $50 pounds Of coffee. 55 pounds
Of crackers, AS pounds Of beef, lS3 pounds OF
pork, % bushels Of potatoes, y bushels OF tur-
nips, 1873 cabbages, 2 bushels OF beans, 3 bar
rels OF -four, sacks OF salt IL pounds OF pop
per, bushels OF meal The quantity OF soup
and bread given from the MissiOn-house was
1905 quarts and H,l30 pOnes OF bread. Num-
ber OF sick rations, 2,3i0. This was done with
an outlay Of $375. The flannel, bed-clothes,
&c. distributed were as follows: 100 yards red
flannel, 40 yards canton flannel % yards cotton
cloth, - blankets, 12 bed-cOmforts, with an out
lay Of SIG. The Incidental expenses OF the
Mission, such as repairs, light, wood, matrons
wages, &c, amounted TO s63 326-making an out
lay for the work Of two months OF s5JL28 Tho
distribution OF old clothing, &c, was $50 old
garments, 800 pair old shoes, II new pair shoes,
= mattresses, pillows, 2 stoves, bedsteads,
and other articles OF furniture given where
much needed. In addition contributions Of
flannel and cotton cloth were received and dis-
uibutcd; also, quilts, &c, from other sources.
The distribution Of coke was done by tickets,
and the amount was 5000 bushels disqibuted.
In resI onse to an appeal for help 10 haul the
coke TO the poor, Mr. Cyrus Bossieux has most
generously placed his wagons several days In
each week at the disposal Of the ladies Of the
Mission. This generous act has relieved them
Of a great burden.
The visitors connected with the City Mission
have made l. - visits 10 the poor in their seve-
raj districts.
The grOcers and commission merchants have
been liberal in their donations. The ladies de-
sire TO call attention 70 the fact that several

nEvIyALs IN CITY CHURCHES.
Continuation OF Public Interest
Many New Converts.

The revival services at Centenary
Methodist church last night were very
largely attended in spite of the bad
weather.
Rev. c. p. Lyford, of New York,
preached an able sermon from the 18th
Psalm and the 9Th verse, 40 Taste and
See that the Lord is Good"
Practical Religion" was the speaker
theme, aud he proved conclusiyely that
in everyday life this is what is most
needed IL sinners would only put God
to the test then they could see for them
selves whether or not God is good.
Rev. George w. Wray also added an
exhortation, enforcing some of the
points made by Mr.. Lyford.
One penitent was at the altar. Meet
inGs continue every evening, beginning
at 7:l5 o'clock.
LEIGH-sIRRRT BAPTIsT CHURCH.
Despite the rain last night, a large
congregation filled the lower floor and
galleries, and there was no abatement
of the interest. Before the sermon
there were number of special re-
quests made for prayer for friendsor by
inquirers for themselves.
In order to relieve DR.. Goodwin,
whose labors in this great revival have
been very exhausting, DR.. j. William
Jones preached on the " "Blessedness of
Religion"
Dr Goodwin made several powerful
appeals to the seeker after life to come
to Christ now, and to publicly confess
Him before men, and there we're
number of professions of faith. A
number also rose to ask special prayer
for themselves. Six persons were re-
ceived for baptism, and one was
baptized at the close Of the service.
This makes eighty-one in all who
have been baptized or received for bap-
tism since this great revival began, and
there are many more to follow.
the meeting yesterday afternoon was
well attended and was one of great in
tcrest. Two were baptized into the
full fellowship of the church.
There will be meeting at 4:30 this
afternoon, and at 1880 DIR. Goodwin will
preach again.
